Spud Wilson is the terror of the track. But he stacks his BMX and dies. Dies? Not quite. A pair of feral brain surgeons bring Spud back from the brink. A hilarious tale of a young boy with absolutely no respect for the great minds of science, who helps the course of true love and makes a new man of himself at the same time.*Shortlisted, Best Novel - Young Adult, Aurealis Awards, 1998Ages 9+
